Listen, I know you're probably expecting me to complain about Afkers/Leavers/Feeders/Trolls. But, no. None of those are the reason for me not being able to climb. So, currently I'm at 4 LP Silver 1. The problem for me not being able to climb is my MMR, most likely which is my guess. My MMR effects me with how much LP I gain and with how much LP I lose. When I win a ranked game I gain 16 LP, when I lose a game I lose 22 LP.

For whats happening to me right now is that I win one game, lose one game, win one game, lose one game. This cycle repeats itself over and over and over and there is nothing I'm capable of doing to stop it.

So here is my calculations if this cycle goes on:

4+16 = 20 20-22= -2 -2+16=14 14-22= -8 -8+16=8 8-22= -14

But by the time I've got like -8 LP I will most likely already be demoted.

You have to have a 55/60% winrate or higher to climb, that's Riot's system. Sucks, but eh.

your mmr is below silver 1 but you promoted because of a lucky winstreak. if you check your opponents they will not be silver 1 on average they are likely silver 3 or so.

that is because you rank means nothing. the game considers you silver 3. you could still promote to 'gold' with another winstreak but if you are playing silver 3 players, you are silver 3. and so you will have to win more games to promote than a true silver 1 player would.

edit: checked your mmr and its 1,243 which is indeed silver 3. average mmr for silver 1 is 1330.
